Abstract (English)

This exhibition catalogue accompanies a series of prints by the Chapman brothers entitled “The Disasters of War,” which was inspired by Goya’s series of the same name. Aquin underlines how the Chapman brothers’ imagery, which combines symbols of fertility and violence, supports the theory that war is a biological function. The author describes the hallucinatory quality of the works which he claims reflect “the cannibalistic ritual of art.” Biographical notes.
